One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.
Bonus points for dropping a reference to the 70s cult classic Death Race 2000 in the article.

is 100k for an electric car worth it? Does it really save you dinero in the long run...
- garett_west0
I believe on the Tesla site there was some info about the super low cost of charging it every night.
It wasn't like your electric bill was going to be 100+ a month or anything. It was amazingly low.
And, the car is cool as hell.
haha.

... The only thing I can think about rite now is a portable charger, that you put in the trunk, and hook it rite into the car so that it can go off of that live until it's drained.
Kind of like a laptop.
I imagine that is a few years/decades off however, but for some reason the way I picture it, it looks funny.

Or, if you're worried about the cost of charging it late at night just plug the cord into your neighbors outdoor wall outlet.
heh heh heh.

hahaha... that's so tacky, garrett...
... reminds me of a 'friend' on NT who's having problems with his garbage can...
... he puts his out... it gets picked up... but his neighbor doesn't get his out in time... so his neighbor will run over and switch out their full garbage can w/his empty one.
... brilliant. :)

Dude that's awesome!
I actually had to do that once.
I missed the garbage run so I ran my garbage to the other side of the curb and threw it in the neighbors can. I guess they flagged him for putting too much garbage into one can. I found out a few days later from him and had to spill the beans. haha.

Top writing from see|net.
I know Audi ran an LMP car that was a Diesel not that long ago at Nurburgring I think. Ran like a beast, was quiet, and got insane mileage out of its tank.
It'd be cool if they started doing electric car drag races (since an electric motor tends to put out high amounts of torque). No need for ear plugs, they'd be totally silent!
